Senior Advisor, Inquiries (Six month Fixed-Term)
Wellington
October 31, 2024
Te Waihanga seeks to transform infrastructure for all New Zealanders. By doing so our goal is to lift the economic performance of Aotearoa and improve the wellbeing of all New Zealanders.
All this is why we need you.
Role purpose | Te Kaupapa o te Tūranga
We are looking for a fixed-term Senior Advisor to join the Inquiries team until June 2025. You will assist the Commission to deliver its research and strategy functions and promote understanding of how the infrastructure system in New Zealand, and the services it provides, can be improved.
The Inquiries team conducts deep-dive research projects into different aspects of the infrastructure system, for example, our work published earlier this year on what's fair when it comes to paying for infrastructure https://tewaihanga.govt.nz/our-work/key-topics/what-is-fair-providing-and-paying-for-infrastructure.
In 2024/25 the team is researching potential policy and system reforms as part of the Commission's work to develop the National Infrastructure Plan. The Senior Adviser will contribute towards a project comparing institutional settings of different infrastructure sectors over time and across jurisdictions (primarily via desk-based research). Through this project we want to answer questions such as:
- What can we learn from how other countries structure their electricity network, in terms of their efficiency, resilience and affordability?
- How have changes to road transport funding institutions in New Zealand affected performance and value for money?
- Undertaking robust research and analysis including literature reviews.
- Writing clear and concise reports for a wide audience.
- Planning, organising and managing research activities and outputs.
- Engaging with stakeholders to test research, analysis and advice.
You might be an experienced researcher with an interest in policy implications of your research, or a policy professional with exceptional analytical and communication skills wanting to move into a research-focused role.
Ideally you will have:
- A research-based post-graduate qualification in a related discipline.
- Experience in the machinery of government.
- Knowledge of issues and trends associated with Infrastructure in New Zealand, and/or experience working in infrastructure (including transport, water, energy, waste, education or health).
Te Waihanga is what's called an Autonomous Crown Entity or, even better, an ACE. We think about the whole infrastructure system – roads, waterpipes, powerlines, you name it – and our job is to give advice and uncover the insights that can make it all work as well as it can, supporting an Aotearoa that's great for the generations to come.
Our people are smart and passionate about this stuff. They're friendly and, this being a relatively small organisation, it's easy to work with anyone here and to have an impact. We don't do hierarchy or stand on ceremony.
We also value our people, and it's important to us that you feel welcome, supported, and respected. We also have flexible working that supports the individual, the team and the organisation.
